Remove the tube light and the outlet pipe, and you are back in the 7th century. This is how Appar would have sung Thiruthaandagam infront of Shiva, with his devout Tamil poetry reverberating across the stone walls. A cultural continuity spanning centuries Source: Pannisai Deva

Similarly, in Maanadu, Yuvan (aka Abdul Haliq) requested to change the Masha Ola tune he composed as it was haram to sing his God's name with instruments. The song was changed to Meherezylaa last minute by lyricist Madhan Karky. There are many unofficial censors in Dravidawood.

Meesai Rajendran exposes Dstock Vadivelu who deliberately insulted him with a fake film offer just cuz Rajendran was a Captain supporter. Ironic that DMDK themselves have aligned with DMK now. Politics is a different game unpalatable to normies like us

CM Vijay has apologized in assembly today, for his party's minister committing the horrific sin of referring to Karunanidhi by his real name instead of his honorifics Kalaignar. Throwback to Cho's hilarious explanation of his usage of Karunanidhi vs Kalaignar over time 😂

Annamalai, back to his clear and confident best in the press meet: "If BJP was asked to ally with Naveen Patnaik 10 years back, would BJP have won Odisha today? From Zero seats in 2004, to 1 seat in 2009, now we are ruling Odisha. This is how a party would grow - step by step. I'm here to grow the party in TN, not to adjust with anybody. If the party wants an adjustable leadership, they will assign such a leader" Looks like KA is staying the course!

Director H Vinoth opens up about wanting to be a Rightwing thinker/politician, who was forced to look at leftist ideologies to practically survive in Dravidawood. This is the bane of the intolerant left, who own the medium with no space for other ideas.

'Bad Girl' director Varsha about wanting to break the narrative of women being portrayed as flowers, pure, Pathini (chaste & devoted), motherly/godly because it was too much pressure for women. Makes sense, "Enjoyment without responsibility" is D value.

Anupama quotes Kabir Khan (dir of Ek Thaa Tiger) : I can forgive bad acting & sloppy scripts, but can't forgive bad politics. She calls Dhurandhar "a tough sit" cuz ISI & RAW agents don't fall in love with Aman Ki Asha like "good" films are supposed to.

Disagree with Seeman's politics as you wish, but he is the rarest mainstream Tamil politician who has the guts to have taken the right historical position wrt EVR vs Bharathi. May he drive more people into reading the immortal G.O.A.T Mahakavi's poetry!
